西马拉村公共展览空间改造丨意大利丨Martino Picchedda Architetto

西马拉（Simala）位于萨丁岛的心脏地带，距离奥里斯塔诺 45 公里，这个小型农业与牧区村庄深刻地保留了过去与未来之间的紧密联系。该村核心的建筑干预项目融合了对废墟的诗意表达，并庆祝其象征意义，展现了历史与现代的完美对话。由年轻建筑师 Martino Picchedda 策划的这个项目，通过细腻的设计与现代手法，展示了如何将历史建筑转变为文化和社会再生的催化剂。

Nestled in the heart of Sardinia, 45 kilometers from Oristano, the small agricultural and pastoral village of Simala preserves a profound connection between past and future. At its core lies a remarkable architectural intervention—a project that embraces the poetics of ruins while celebrating their symbolic value. Curated by the young architect Martino Picchedda, this initiative demonstrates how a sensitive and contemporary approach can transform historic structures into catalysts for social and cultural regeneration.

19 世纪遗产的重生

A XIX-Century Legacy Reimagined

西马拉村中心，一座 19 世纪的庭院建筑——曾是地主的住所，亦是农业活动的中心——被重新设计为公共展览空间。该项目深刻理解并尊重时间的流逝，将建筑的痕迹视为层叠的历史叙事，将记忆与现代性相融合。

At the heart of Simala, a 19th-century courtyard building—once the residence of a landowner and the center of agricultural activity—has been reimagined as a public exhibition space. Respectfully interpreting the passage of time, the project views architectural traces as layered narratives, weaving memory into the fabric of modernity.

重拾废墟：衰败的独特魅力

Rediscovering Ruins: The Evocative Power of Decay

整个设计过程始于一项细致的揭示工作。过度生长的植物和积尘的清理，不仅是功能上的需要，更是象征性的举措，释放出场地潜藏的无限可能。曾被视为遗物的废墟，成为设计的核心，通过它们坚韧的存在传递故事。残留的墙体，虽脆弱，却赋予了空间戏剧感，犹如舞台布景般框定着公共区域。这些废墟所创造的开放空间，既邀请又包容，是亲密与共融的界限。

The intervention begins with a delicate process of unveiling. Overgrown vegetation and decades of dust are removed, not as mere functional acts but as symbolic gestures, revealing the latent potential of the site. The ruins, previously seen as relics, become the focal point of the design, telling stories through their enduring presence. Surviving walls, though fragile, gain a theatrical presence, framing the public space like stage sets. These ruins define an open void—a space that invites rather than excludes, a threshold between the intimate and the communal.

记忆与景观的交织

An Architecture of Memory and Landscape

该项目的灵感来源于那些直面历史遗存的建筑大师，如皮拉内西（Piranesi）的极具想象力的绘图和阿尔贝托·布里（Alberto Burri）在吉贝利纳的材料艺术。在庭院中，传统的“impedrau”铺装向萨丁岛庭院的触觉记忆致敬。内部，宽缝的玄武岩地板铺设在排水层上，精心设计的管道系统将水流引导至地下。原始的石砖碎片（tellas）被巧妙地重新融入空间的叙事中，赋予了场所连贯性与深度。

The project draws inspiration from masters who grappled with historical preexistence, such as the visionary drawings of Piranesi and the material poetry of Alberto Burri’s Gibellina. In the courtyard, the traditional “impedrau” paving pays homage to the tactile memory of Sardinian courtyards. Indoors, basalt flooring laid with wide joints on a draining bed captures and channels water through an intricate network of pipes. Fragments of the original stone tiles, or “tellas”, are thoughtfully reintegrated, weaving continuity into the narrative of the space.

社区生活的舞台 A Stage for Community Life 曾是私人农业空间的庭院，如今已转变为一个公共展览广场。简约的设计干预突出了历史建筑的原始质感，墙体采用生态石灰灰泥处理，保持了自然的粗糙感。废墟在清理与加固后，以它们的“不完美”呈现出一种朴素的美感，记录了劳动、坚韧与日常生活的痕迹。这个空间象征着萨丁岛一个既尊重历史根基又拥抱更新的未来，顺畅地连接着过去与未来。

The courtyard, once a private agricultural space, now unfolds as a public exhibition plaza. The minimalist interventions serve the historical architecture, highlighting the raw materiality of the walls treated with ecological lime-based plaster. The ruins, cleaned and consolidated, wear their incompleteness proudly. Their simple, timeworn surfaces recount stories of labor, resilience, and daily life. This space becomes a metaphor for a Sardinia that acknowledges its roots while embracing renewal, bridging the past and future seamlessly.

艺术与景观之间的干预 An Intervention Between Art and Landscape

项目的精髓在于其简约的表达，专注于材料、记忆及空间唤醒潜在集体情感的能力。最终，它打造了一个集会场所——一个历史与现代并存的舞台，致力于展示本地产品并促进慢旅游，这对西马拉的经济与文化发展至关重要。

The project’s poetic essence lies in its simplicity. It focuses on materials, memory, and the ability of space to awaken latent collective emotions. The result is a meeting place—a stage where history and contemporaneity coexist, dedicated to showcasing local products and promoting slow tourism, increasingly vital to Simala’s economic and cultural dynamics.

这一干预展示了建筑倾听与回应的能力，而非单纯的主导。通过这个项目，西马拉成为了一个活生生的领土再生实验室，证明了建筑如何重新诠释记忆，构建一个开放且共享的叙事空间。

This intervention embodies an architecture that listens rather than dominates. Through this project, Simala emerges as a living laboratory of territorial regeneration—a testament to how architecture can reinterpret memory to craft an open and shared narrative.
